Verdict
The booking of Ryan Moore suggests Cape Classic may be fully primed for his return to action. If so, he'll go very close. Magic Secret left the opposition floundering at Redcar when scoring by 11 lengths on his debut in October and he could figure but there are no doubts about the race-fitness of ALIVE AND KICKING. He bids for his hat-trick after winning both starts this year and there looks more to come from him. Italian Tom won at Ascot last time and he has to come into the reckoning for Ron Harris' in-form yard but the ground will be plenty fast enough for Even Stevens.
